Pet owners love the look and convenience of artificial grass, but when it comes to keeping turf fresh and odor-free, not all systems perform the same.
At ProGreen, we design and manufacture American-made synthetic turf systems specifically for pets. Our ProFlow™ drainage technology and antimicrobial infill options are engineered to help minimize odors, improve drainage, and make cleaning simple so that your lawn stays safe, dry and comfortable year-round.
If you’ve noticed unpleasant smells around your lawn, the cause is usually ammonia from pet urine. When urine lingers in turf infill or backing and is exposed to heat, bacteria form and create odor.
Many turf systems use perforated backings, which can trap liquid beneath the surface. Instead of relying on spaced out perforations, ProGreen’s unique ProFlow™ backing allows water and urine to drain evenly through every inch of turf, preventing pooling and helping to reduce bacterial growth.
The infill you choose is crucial for odor control, drainage and hygiene.
Common infill types:
Silica Sand: Economical, but retains moisture and odor over time.
Zeolite and ZeoFill: A natural mineral that helps neutralize ammonia and absorb moisture.
Antimicrobial Infill (Recommended): Designed to inhibit bacterial growth and resist odor. Perfect for high-use pet areas.
ProGreen’s antimicrobial and cooling infill options complement our ProFlow™ backing, creating a system that stays cleaner and drier with less maintenance.
For long-term freshness, proper turf construction matters just as much as cleaning.
Look for these key features:
100% Permeable ProFlow™ Backing – allows liquid to pass through freely for fast drainage.
Antimicrobial Yarn Fibers – help resist bacterial growth and reduce odor buildup.
Non-Absorbent Fibers – don’t hold moisture or pet waste.
Proper Base Installation – ensures drainage layers and slope direct liquid away efficiently.
All ProGreen Pet Turf systems are PFAS-compliant, non-toxic and made from materials free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals, so they’re safe for pets and people alike.
Keeping your pet turf odor-free is simple with the right care routine and products.
